Actor's Life Simulator

Chapter 143

Sure enough, as Deng Tao expected, Wen Juan and Zhang Weiming looked at each other, and seemed to think that it was too much for Deng Tao to make such a waste of time, so Wen Juan said:

"Deng Zai, I wonder if you can accept other roles? There are still some supporting roles in our film. Although there are not so many roles, the performance fee can still be settled according to the previous proposal."

That's what Deng Tao was thinking about. Although he pretended to be helpless and said something that he had no choice but to say, he nodded his body honestly.

Seeing Deng Tao's attitude is so good, Zhang Weiming and Wen Juan also felt quite guilty, so they took the time to choose a few roles for Deng Tao.

One is the dairy farm employee who complains to Wang Shunliu in the beginning of the film, one is the bus driver, and the other is the boyfriend of a female teacher who is misunderstood as a liar in the film.

Deng Tao felt a little dissatisfied after seeing these choices. These characters really don't have much role to play. They are said to be supporting roles.

"Are there any other characters?" Deng Tao asked awkwardly.

Wen Juan was also scratching his head. To be honest, he himself felt a little unjustifiable for such a small supporting role.Moreover, Deng Tao agreed to let them use his name for publicity after he got paid.When the time comes for a long time to promote, the audience will go to the cinema to watch, Deng Tao will only be in two or three scenes, and if they pass by without watching carefully, it will definitely be called a fraudulent promotion. "The Journey Home" is generally a conscientious commercial film that wants to make good works honestly and earn money, and does not want to bear such a bad name.

Wen Juan is also a very conscientious person, so he was really embarrassed at this moment.

"How about I bring you a script and you choose one yourself?"

Ten minutes later, Deng Tao got the script of "The Journey Home".

Although his mild dyslexia seems to have improved due to the talent bonus, he still reads much slower than others, and Wen Juan and Ye Weimin don't have time to accompany Deng Tao to choose a supporting role slowly , So they left one after another, leaving Deng Tao to ponder in the guest house alone.

It took more than two hours before Deng Tao finally finished reading the script of "The Journey Home".

This is a road movie.

The two protagonists originally wanted to go to Star City, but it happened to be in time for the Spring Festival travel rush. The two people encountered all kinds of hardships along the way, from the train to the bus, then to the ferry, to the van, and finally arrived on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Finally, we arrived at Star City in a truck carrying live chickens.In the twists and turns along the way, the two also met all kinds of characters in the Spring Festival travel rush.

After Deng Tao read the script, he felt that the book was very well written.

It's not that it's so brilliant and unexpected, the key is that the writing in the book is solid enough.

The plot is compact and full of twists and turns.There are laughs and tears, and it is not embarrassing. It is definitely a very qualified road movie.

Although these requirements seem to be very basic, Deng Tao can really appreciate the difficulty.It’s just that they can meet the basic requirements in all aspects and have wonderful performance skills in a few places. To be honest, there may not be many screenwriters in the mainland who dare to say that they can do it.

At least Deng Tao felt that compared to the two films he had made before, "Liu Rushi" and "Sword Rain Jianghu", the script of "The Journey Home" was much better than the previous two films. It feels like the script analysis methods in Nanyi textbooks are actually applied.

Originally, he came to film "The Journey Home" just to complete the task of Qiancheng Mirror, where blind cats killed mice, but after reading the script, Deng Tao was firm in his idea of ​​playing a role in this film .

It doesn't mean that he can improve his acting skills by pointing at a small supporting role, Deng Tao suddenly discovered.I seem to be really an aspiring actor. Seeing this good book at this time, I feel delighted, and I naturally want to participate in the creation process of this artwork.

After making up his mind, Deng Tao quickly started looking for a suitable character in the script.

First of all, he rejected all the three roles that Wen Juan suggested to him before.Dairy farm employees, bus drivers, female teacher's boyfriend, there are too few scenes, even if Wen Juan and Ye Weimin are willing to add a few more words for him, it will destroy the compactness of the whole film itself, but I want to make it more colorful It seems that Deng Tao has no choice but to find that this play is actually the content of the two male protagonists singing and singing together, and most of the other characters are passers-by who promote the plot.

There is a character who can really touch people's hearts, the female teacher who plays a role in promoting the plot in the third act.But this character is a woman, should Wen Juan change it to a man?
Deng Tao thought about it for a while, and immediately denied his idea.

With his eyes, he can see that the most powerful part of the script "Lost Way Home" is its pyrotechnic atmosphere, and many characters in it can be seen in real life.

The female teacher knelt among the crowd during the Spring Festival travel festival, with chalk writing on the ground, saying that the child was waiting for an operation in the hospital, and she mortgaged her ID card to borrow money from passers-by.

Deng Tao has also seen this kind of thing in front of some train stations or bus stops. Generally, the people kneeling there are women, and of course most of them are liars.But even liars have to grasp the psychology of the audience. The reason why women are used is because women can often make people feel weaker. If you want to find a young man of ten or twenty years old to kneel and cry there, no matter how miserable it is, they will The first impression would be that this kid is worthless, who would be scammed by such a person?

This kind of change will directly weaken the excitement of the original script, no need to ask, Wen Juan and Ye Weimin definitely disagree.

The role of Teacher Lu is definitely out of reach for himself. Deng Tao scratched his head a little. Because of his dyslexia, he simply spent half an hour listing the outline of the script, marking the stories of all the characters in it, and watching it again. After reading it two or three times, Deng Tao's eyes finally lit up.

This character is fine, although it seems a bit inconsistent with my temperament and appearance, but it is already the most brilliant male character I can find.The more inconsistent with your own image, the more challenging it is, isn't it?Deng Tao thought about it for a while, and felt that if he worked hard with his own ability, he might really be able to take down this role, and he felt as if a greedy worm was hooked in his heart.

Only then did he realize that he really has aspirations in acting, and he has a bit of an old-fashioned character, and he will be greedy when he sees a good role.

Once he made up his mind, Deng Tao quickly took out his mobile phone and called Wen Juan.

"Teacher Wen, see if I can try this role..."

On the other end of the phone, Wen Juan was busy on the set, holding the script in his hand while answering Deng Tao's call.

Long-haired Shan Zheng and Wang Shunliu in sportswear were waiting for Wen Juan's comment on the scene just now, when Wen Juan, who had something to say, said something on the phone After that, he stopped the movement here, and blinked his eyes with some doubts.

"You want to play that little Bingbing's husband?"
